Is there any one who can health card with 3 year validity?

Thanks! Can you please check that transaction record if any date has been provided for OHIP coverage start?7799 said:I have been told that i can use that "transcation record" paper untill i get CARD.
So i think it started immediatedly. No waiting period.
Bro, I think maybe the rule is 3 months but Service Ontario workers give it to you anyways.maniac2403 said:Thanks! Can you please check that transaction record if any date has been provided for OHIP coverage start?

I have done some thinking and came to this conclusion: My husband and I received our OHIP's separately with 2 different officers at Service Ontario. Mine was a nice young lady who said "this is strange" during our conversation and called for her manager, her manager came in and looked at my CoPR and said "that's fine, that will do" and the young lady kept fixing some stuff for 10 minutes and even asked me to sit down. When I was called again she apologized and said give me your old card and issued me a piece of paper that was valid right away and she said until I receive my new OHIP card I can use that sheet of paper... So whatever the rule is, I got it, my husband got it... A few other ppl on this forum got it... I think it all depends on the officer and how they are willing to help. Are you from Toronto? Go to Yonge and College Service of Ontario branch where I think the most knowledgeable ppl work and just get it.
Mine is valid until 2020 02 01 which is my birthday. They issued it for 5.5 years since my birthday already occurred this year... It is strange that you were only issued an OHIP valid for 3 years, but there is nothing to worry about, you can just go to Service Ontario and ask them to review it... Your are a PR now, so you automatically are eligible for it as long as you reside in Ontario.7799 said:Hi
Ur health cards are valid for 3 years or 5 years?
Thanks.
